Early Days

Martial arts became something of a necessity. His father urged him to begin training, and thus at age 14 Emins Martial arts career begun.

This led him to seeking instruction from Internationaly, noted European Wing Tzun Master's. Many years of training in the Wing Tzun system have now passed for Emin.

Embodiment of the Wing Tzun Philosophy

The life of Emin Boztepe is a mirror for the Wing Tzun Philosophy as taught by the EBMAS: be aggressive in all encounters while avoiding conflict whenever possible. When faced with the unavoidable challenge of conflict, meet it head on, finish it quickly, expend as little energy as possible and continue on your way. According to Wing Tzun philosophy. The simplest, easiest and most effective way is the best way. "Avoiding a physical confrontation that is not truly necessary does not mean being a coward but being humble," states Emin. "However, conflicts must be met head on when left no other choice because of possible harm to yourself, your loved ones or your family. This includes my Wing Tzun family which currently spans over 40 countries. Though Emin has trained in many different Martial Art Disciplines, he currently bases his self defense solely on Wing Tzun Kung Fu and Latosa Escrima. He feels this helps him fulfill his philosophy of ending conflicts quickly by using effective and simple techniques. These sort of techniques are the hallmark of Wing Tzun. Emin confesses, "I only believe in using techniques that work as fast as possible and minimize injury to myself. The Wing Tzun philosophy states: To be kind to your enemy is to be cruel to yourself. Why be kind and gentle to someone who is trying to harm you or your loved ones? "

Training

The WT philosophy also advocates realistic training. Emin feels that this is one of the most important factors in developing effective self-defense techniques. Although Emin believes in other forms of training such as bag-training, aerobics, etc., he feels that nothing can take the place of sparring and WT Chi Sao practice with a live partner. Emin emphasizes that training should become a regular routine for any serious martial artist.

"You can have the best techniques and the best instructors, but if you don't practice regularly and realistically it will not be useful." Emin exemplifies this himself by adhering to a strict training schedule of 4 hours a day.
